Ribosome Recycling Factor
Ribosome Recycling Factor (RRF) is a protein found in bacterial cells as well as eukaryotic organelles specifically mitochondria and chloroplasts. It functions to recycle ribosomes after completion of protein synthesis.
Lacritin
Lacritin is a 12.3 kDa glycoprotein encoded in humans by the LACRT gene. Lacritin is a secreted protein found in tears and saliva. Lacritin also promotes tear secretion and the […]
Aquaporin 1
AQP1 is a widely expressed water channel whose physiological function has been most thoroughly characterized in the kidney. It is found in the basolateral and apical plasma membranes of the […]
Aquaporin 3
Aquaporin 3 is found in the basolateral cell membrane of principal collecting duct cells and provide a pathway for water to exit these cells. In kidney AQP3 gene expression is […]
Tetraspanin
Tetraspanins are a family of membrane proteins found in all multicellular eukaryotes.Tetraspanins also called tetraspans or the transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF) have four transmembrane domains intracellular N- and C-termini and […]
Steroid 17a-monooxygenase
Steroid 17alpha-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.99.9 steroid 17alpha-hydroxylase cytochrome P-45017alpha cytochrome P-450 (P-45017alphalyase) 17alpha-hydroxylase-C1720 lyase) is an enzyme with system name steroidhydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (17alpha-hydroxylating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction a […]
